Post some side profile shots! It looks good from here!

I can tell you now they’d take serious offence to someone taking a bastardised ta moko and putting into an old god design. So I hope it’s covered if you ever decide to venture there, they aren’t just tattoos to them, it’s their story and lineage.

If you were serious about…[Read more]

That is some absolutely mind-blowing neo-Japanese ink. Congratulations and I agree with everyone here who’s giving your artist major props. Keep your thread updated.

Welcome to the board, Sharyn.

Plenty of stuff you can have that won’t show, but it depends on what kind of clothes you wear and how much skin you show on a daily basis at work.

Back on track with the original thread…

It looks like it was just done after you snapped the pics. If you can post some better pictures now that it’s been a few days and let’s get a better look.

I think it’ll look good also, but it’s harder to tell from those pics.

Nah, what gets old is a bunch of grown ups acting like adolescents who’ve had too much sugar and not enough sleep. The thing about being a dick on the internet is that it really shows everyone just how much of an intolerable miserable asshole you really are.

Some of us on this board might not post as much, but we enjoy seeing new threads. When…[Read more]

I come home on the morning of the 10th and will be jumping in a car with my woman to check out the convention after lunch.

Too bad I’m not getting back to the States a couple of days earlier!

Yeah dude, let’s see some HQ pics of that ink. It looks sick!

Thanks, dudes.

Yeah, it’s going to end up getting color. Probably around April when I get my next chance to knock off 6 more hours. Hopefully it’ll be done before the end of summer. Depends more on my schedule than anything and now that I’m an eastcoaster it’s harder to just “cruise to San Jose” than when I lived in Calistan. 😉

Thanks!

Glad to be back and to continue this project. Got a lot of catching up to do since I haven’t been on the forum for more than a few minutes in the last four months!

Look like a great tattoo but not so sure on the scales on the koi fish.. They are suppose to be rounded at the ends but it just looks like a diamond shape to me.. Was it suppose to look like that? Is that his kind of artistic vision of a Koi?

Sorry it took me so long to get back. Was overseas and had little access to…[Read more]

Nice work and I’m with everyone else here waiting to see it all finished!

Cool looking owl. Why an owl? Any background on that?

Someone needs to splash some clorox into the local genepool…

You sound like a gentle soul and as a medic you’ve seen more than any man should. I never envied medics for the daily “Hey Doc, check this out” *Drops pants* “Is this rash on my junk normal?” routine. It’s no surprise you guys are so defensive and with that said I hope you find this place as accommodating as your old CCP.

Welcome to the board, Doc.

That is awesome!

Did three hours worth of shading yesterday. It’s starting to come together!

Beautiful and great tattoo. 😀

Gnarly- Thanks!

Pberge – I know, I’ve been checking your thread out too and it looks great!
